Message from Convenor: Dr Meredith Tharapos

RMIT University’s School of Accounting, warmly invites you to attend the RMIT Accounting Educators’ Conference 2019. The School of Accounting has a proud history of hosting this annual event for ten consecutive years. The conference welcomes the exchange of ideas and information about research, education, projects, practice and policies.

The RMIT Accounting Educators’ Conference provides participants with the opportunity to:

Explore the latest research developments in accounting education

Debate the future of accounting education

Learn from the experience of others.

The program will feature a keynote address, a panel of guest speakers and parallel sessions with accounting and education scholars. The conference provides a forum for sharing and shaping ideas, insight, and discussion on accounting education and related research that support the underlying theme of the conference.

The theme of the RMIT Accounting Educators’ Conference 2019 is Moving from diversity to inclusion in accounting education.

In a rapidly changing educational environment at international, national, and institutional levels, the theme of this year’s conference is both significant and topical. By attending this conference, you will be part of a community engaging in a dialogue about the future of accounting education.

We look forward to meeting you as a member of this community and hearing what you have to say.

Since the inception of the RMIT Accounting Educators’ Conference in 2010, this event has been proudly supported by CPA Australia, who have helped make this conference the leading event on the Asia Pacific accounting education calendar. We are most grateful to CPA Australia for their support and participation in this event.
